Ok so I’ve a pretty big thing for handbags. I feel they really make an outfit, and it’s an added bonus that they always fit, even if I’ve gained weight! Anyway, I have quite an extensive collection already, ranging from Givenchy to Mulberry to LuLu Guinness, to Marc Jacob, to Coach, to Kate Spade, to Coccinelle to DKNY to various other designers to high street and to TK Maxx. I’ve coveted a Louis Vuitton neverfull for years but often felt I couldn’t justify the money (even though my Givenchy and some of my Mulberrys were dearer, but for some reason I always baulked at spending on a neverfull). Well. I baulk no more. I decided to get one recently after unexpectedly getting some money. So, off I went over the weekend, and ordered one. It wasn’t in stock in the department store so they have ordered it for me and I should have it Thursday. I was so giddy with excitement and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. However, once I got home I was browsing the LV website, purely to get a link to the bag to send my friend, and I saw another one which I loved. The Lymington. Impulsively I ordered that online. So I’m the space of two hours i’ve gone from owning no LV bag to owning two!

Both should be here on Thursday or Friday at the latest.

I’m so excited that I had to share! Indulge me please Grin

@chocolatesaltyballs22 ooh now that’s lovely! What’s the lining like?

The lining is a beautiful red, same colour as the popper on the matching purse.

sammylady37 · 03/06/2021 20:41

Oh fab. I’m considering lining that up for my winter bag.

No, no I don’t have any self-control. Why do you ask?

I love this one too. It’s smaller than the neverfull and has a full zip. Probably more of an everyday work bag than the neverfull.

Delighted with my purchases!

Beautiful! 😍😍 I love that soft pink. I keep worrying that by the time I can buy one there won’t be any pink or red linings left.

Ah well. I’ll live!

Enjoy your lovely new bags @sammylady37!

It's gorgeous! I've just given my Speedy 25 in that print to my daughter for her 18th - it's left a damier azure hole in my collection!!

Ninkanink · 08/06/2021 18:15

I remember you saying you might gift one to your DD for her birthday...so glad you did! What did she think of her present?

Ah she's so happy with it! She's planning on a lunch outing with it tomorrow.

She's VERY lucky OP, meanwhile I feel like I've given away my first born and am a little bit in mourning!

I love the azur print but I don't like the vachetta when it darkens against the azur. I don't like the way it darkens full stop but I particularly don't like the way it looks against the pale bag. Nothing can be done to prevent the darkening that I know of.

sammylady37 · 07/10/2021 22:27

I’m bumping my own thread to report that I ordered a Neonoe in Damier ebene today, with a pink interior. Should have it in a week or so. It’ll be my new winter bag!
